"Richard Ingersoll came from Bedfordshire, England, to Salem in 1629, under contract with the Massachusetts Bay Company to take a place in the force of planters they were gathering. His family was to be brought over, and he was well spoken of by the company's secretary in a letter to Gov. John Endecott. [See Suffolk Deeds, I.] He maintained a ferry at Salem in 1636; had large property. He died in 1644. His will is interesting.
'July the 21th: 1644
I Richard Ingerson of Salem in the County of Essex in New England, being weake in body; but through Gods mercye in pfect memorye, doe make this my last will & testament as followeth, Vidz:
I give to Ann my wife all my estate of lands, goods & chattells, whatsoever, except as followeth viz:
I give to George Ingerson my son six acres of meddow lying in the great meddow:
It. I give to Nathaniell my youngest son a percell of ground with a little frame thereupon, which I bought of John Pe... but if the said Nathaniell dy, without issue of his body lawfully begotten, then the land abovesaid to be equally shared, between John Ingerson my son & Richard Pettingall & William Haines my sons in law:
It. I give to Bathsheba my youngest daughter two cowes.
It. I give to my daughter Alce Walcott, my house at Tow... with ten Acres of upland & the meddow after my wives decease. [...]'
It has been asserted that a certain house at Salem was built by Ingersoll and was the original of the romance by Hawthorne - 'House of the Seven Gables.' Ann, the widow, married second John Knight, Sen., of Newbury."
